I totally agree that the announcer was awful, almost to the point of embarrassing
I also agree that cheerleaders should not be allowed. With this format and lack of space, that's an easy cut.
I also think that the pictures that hang down and block the view are not needed. Maybe they could be hung up at the team camp.
I don't think they need a parade of champions, because they introduced the wrestlers before finals. Maybe liven up a bit
I also think that the dance team is not needed, unless they put them on when they are taking the 1/2 hr break for setup.
I believe that they ran out of food because managers/kids with a wrist band went to eat. Different color of bands would stop that, or go back to tickets. Hospitality room was good, as usual. Maybe a little cramped.
For some reason the finals took almost 3 hrs.and that was without the podium. I think they could get kids on the podium, then kick them to the track for pictures on the podium there. Something to speed it up would be a good thing.
I would also like to have the finals drawn to see what weight we start at. I don't think they were this time.
Overall I was satisfied with the tournament this year, next year I hope they make some adjustments to speed it up and ease the crowd situation on the floor.
